i took seroquel for many years and i hated it , i would be zombie like and couldnt fucntion plus it was making me high risk for diabetes and messing up my kidneys and liver. ive been on haldol for bout the last 4 or 5 yrs and i must say i have noticed a significant change in myself without all the harsh side effects. i dont take all those antidepressants they try and prescribe either tho i just smoke my weed and try and keep myself busy.

:salute: your strength . we got ths

the last year and a half i have been OFF SEROQUEL.... which after many trial and error oer literally years was the only med that actualy worked and made me "centered" you could say.. prior to seroquel i was givin a host of other meds hallidol(haldol) Chlorpromazine asenapine and a couple others.. this was oer about a 3yr period.. and none helped besides the seroquel...

i LOVED my seroquel it literally saed my life @ the time i was on it for about 2 and a half years.. during that timefram my well being was lifted to places ie neer experienced in my anfe..literally is a miracle drug in my eyes.. and im sure those who suffer the same illness would agree..

so why did i stop takan seroquel??????????????????????????????? after 2+yrs on seroquel and my oerall meantal helth and well being improing ten fold.. it gae me confidence and the courage and the mindset to believe that I COULD CONTROL IT... which is a difficult concept to digest when you have such an illness and the often hoplessness feelings that are associated with it.. but with the right knowledge practices and nutrition you can contain IT.. key word contain..not CURE.. but contain..


I AM NOT AGAINST MEDS --- they DO HELP.. so dont get the idea that i fell that meds are not needed wen delaing with illness' such as these...


BUT...KNOW that there not your only resource to improe your mental state... thats why i suggested reasearching the benefits of nutrition to improe mental helth(b vitamins,green tea,turmeric)

as well as your spiritual helath (meditaion,tao,breathing techniques)..



while meds DO HELP.. know that there not the only HOPE you have on this journey.. which imo is KEY.. there are multiple other resources that can help you attain the peace you deserve.. there IS HOPE!!

Respect,

i went through something similar to this (though not near the degree you have) and once i really took it upon myself to control my own body/thoughts using meditation, deep breathing etc. my quality of life improved dramatically

Thats actually the reason i started smoking in the first place, i found that it helped me the most to get thru certain shyt while not completely fukking up something else in my body, mostly my liver and GI tract

thanks its been a long journey like u said, it was a point in time when i wasnt diagnosed where every few months i was going to jail for cutting somebody up. it was embarrassing when the jailers knew me personally be like o you back again who u cut up this time? then there was the drugs o m g , risperadal helped with that. it made it seem like it wasnt getting me high therefore i wouldnt spend my money on it and viola i was clean again.

I'm not convinced mental illness truely exists.

There are ACTUAL physical things we can measure, such as actual disease...but I feel like a lot of stuff is the inability for people to meld with society or face depression as a result of poor life choices.

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

REALLY subjective quote you made here.

I'm not even going to take it seriously.

Calling it "disease" is a disservice to the practice of medicine.

I understand the benefit of "therapy" but to call it "illness" isn't really accurate either.

i wish people read more Foucalt or Szasz, or Laing, or David Cooper.
